Activity: Helping Others<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis activity will encourage the children to think about some of the ways they can help others.<\/p>\n

Preparation:<\/strong> Prepare ten slips of paper with one of the following acts of service on them: Raking leaves; setting the table; reading a story to a younger child; giving a gift to someone; taking dinner to someone sad or in need; cleaning up litter; visiting an elderly or lonely person; donating money to a charity or relief fund; giving unneeded clothes or toys; sharing a treat with a friend.
\nObtain a large pad of paper and markers, or chalkboard and chalk.<\/p>\n

Presentation:<\/strong> Explain to the children that Jesus often helped others. Tell them you are going to play a game to help them think of some ways they can also help others.
\nHave a child come up and select a slip of paper. Let the child choose to act out (charades style) or draw (on the pad or chalkboard) clues so the rest of the children can guess which act of service they have selected.<\/p>\n

After the children guess the service, briefly review how the children could perform this service in their own setting(s).<\/p>\n

Talk about the joy they feel when they help others. Tell them that God loves them very much and has provided many blessings for them. They can share their blessings with others in many ways, some of which you will have just discussed.

Game: Giving Game<\/strong><\/span>
\nFor this Sunday school lesson you will need a second-timer and a white board or chalk-board. You will need someone from your class who spells and writes well and who can be the scorekeeper.<\/p>\n

Divide your class into 2 teams. Have them sit in 2 separate areas of the room. You are now ready to play this activity. Say the following: 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, \u201cGod loves a cheerful giver.\u201d This verse doesn\u2019t say God loves a grumpy giver or a bored giver. It says God loves a cheerful giver. Why do you think God wants us to give cheerfully? (Wait for responses. Clarify with the following: When we give with a cheerful and joyful heart, we are going to be blessed and the person who is receiving the gift is going to be blessed.) 2 Corinthians 9:7 is an easy verse to memorize so we\u2019re going to play a fun game to make sure you have it inside your heart and mind for your whole life.<\/p>\n

Continue saying: You are in 2 different teams. I am going to take turns asking a student from each team something they might give to a certain person. You will have to answer with 2 words formed from the initials of your own name. For example, I might ask, \u201cDavid Johnson, what would you give to your grandma?\u201d David might respond with \u201cdandy jacks.\u201d Sarah Crawford might say \u201cseven cantaloupes.\u201d You will have 7 seconds to come up with an answer. If you are successful, you will come forward and stand on your side where you team is sitting. My scorekeeper will write your answer on the board so it cannot be used again. Once I have asked every student the gift they would give, I will then have each of you who were able to give me a gift according to your initials to recite 2 Corinthians 9:7. For every team member who says the verse correctly, they will earn 50 points for their team. We will then start all over, but on the next round you will have to give a new answer that hasn\u2019t been used. After 5 rounds, the team with the most points wins. Now let\u2019s play!

Snack: Oreo Coins<\/strong><\/span>
\nTake Oreos and spray them with edible gold spray, you would need to look for this at some-where like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby that has a cake decorating section. Spray them and give them to children while telling the story. Use an allergy alert if you do this.
